Just watched the VMA’s. I dislike Kanye even more than I did before. Three good performances: Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Pink. I really liked Pink’s performance, if only for the hot guy with her. I’m liking Beyonce more now, that was nice reintroduction for Taylor Swift.
I’m also really looking forward to New Moon. I got all caught up on the Sookie Stackhouse series, so I re-read the Twilight series. I’m amazed at how a poor author (Charlaine Harris) can keep me interested. I remember reading the Twilight series and thinking Stephenie Meyer needed a better editor. Now after the second reading I can appreciate how much better that series is. HBO has done a great job turning Harris’ books into a TV show.

i'm not gone.
Let's get a silver bullet trailer and have a baby boy,
I'll safety pin his clothes all cool and you'll graffiti up his toys.
I've got a perfect body, but sometimes I forget,
I've got a perfect body, 'cause my eyelashes catch my sweat.
I attempted to purchase a car today. I first called Markquart Scion (my local dealer) and was appalled by the attitude of the saleswoman I spoke with. After a very unsuccessful phone call, I called Inner Grove Scion. I spoke with a very helpful woman named Bridget. While her dealership did not have the vehicle I wanted in stock, she did check area dealerships and found one that did. She gave me the contact information for Tom Kennedy at another dealership (I can’t remember the dealer’s name). I left a message with him at ten o’clock this morning and as of 8 o’clock this evening I have yet to receive a call back.
I am very disappointed because today was the last day for “Cash for Clunkers”, and I am now unable to take advantage of this program. I am amazed that I received acceptable service at only one of the three Scion dealerships that I called. If this is what I can expect from the shopping experience from Scion/Toyota/Lexus, I can safely say that my money will be spent elsewhere. I will also be sure to share today’s experience with my friends and family.
Based on your score:
LoveGame. You know that being you’re fully committed to your quest for fame doesn’t mean you can’t take a detour here and there to find the perfect disco stick to ride. Your ass has been squeezed by sexy cupid, so your mission to take over the world one sequin at a time unashamedly includes healthy doses of both glamour and heavy touching.

You said this city has a beating heart/ That pushes people down the blvd/ They're all hoping for a wish fulfilled/ In a desert for a dollar bill/ Those foolish dreams, you know they plague me still
The Eiffel Tower built to smaller scale
The freshest oxygen I'd ever inhale
I tapped a bottle against the safety rail killing time
And you were like a walking compliment
Tall in stature and exceptionally read
In dummy glasses and a cardigan
Oh, come on
And oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
You said that all these things you've learned to ignore
The hidden cameras on the casino floor
And what gets paid for behind hotel doors
Oh, come on
Pretend every slot machine is a robot amputee waving hello
The people stare into their eyes
And they feed them little bribes and then they go
The never-ending twilight
In a basement where the sun has never spilt
You said that you were lonely
And then we kissed like lonely people do
You said this city has a beating heart
That pushes people down the boulevard
And they're all hoping for a wish fulfilled
In a desert for a dollar bill
Those foolish dreams, you know they plague me still
Oh, come on
And oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
And oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
